Fifty-two new Fellows elected into the Canadian Academy of Engineering

Ottawa – (15 June 2020) – President Yves Beauchamp announced the election of fifty new Fellows and two new International Fellows into the Canadian Academy of Engineering on June 15, 2020. The announcement is in conjunction with the Academy’s 2020 Annual General Meeting which was held by video conference due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. The Induction Ceremony, which will honor both the 2020 and 2021 elected Fellows, has been postponed to June 2021, and will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Dr. Beauchamp commented: “Over the past 33 years, Fellows of the Academy have provided engineering leadership in the fields of education, infrastructure, innovation and many more. We expect the new Fellows to expand upon these contributions to the prosperity, well-being and sustainability of Canada and its people. The new Fellows apply engineering principles from widely varying backgrounds, from Industry, Academe and Government, but they all have in common the demonstrated desire and ability to go beyond the normal practice of engineering and serve as role models in their fields and to their communities.” Citations and photographs for each of the new inductees follow
